Quick answer
In Oakland, 14.5% of workers take public transit and 7.2% of workers carpool (Census). For qualifying Oakland drivers, liability-only coverage starts at $31 a month — an advertised starting point, not a quote: your own rate depends on your record, mileage, vehicle and coverage choices, and different carriers price the same driver very differently, which is why we compare. We accept ITIN, Matrícula Consular, and AB-60 licenses.

Oakland & Alameda County
The average one-way commute in Oakland runs about 31 minutes, and mileage is one of the few rating factors you can actually change. 23.4% of Oakland workers now work from home — and if your car stopped commuting, your policy should say so, because annual miles are part of the rate. The state's own crash rankings recorded 2,013 people killed or injured on Oakland roads in a single year, which is the number your liability limits are really there for. 255 pedestrians were killed or injured here in the same year, and pedestrian claims are exactly where a thin liability limit runs out. In the year the state last ranked, 499 fatal or injury collisions in Oakland were hit-and-runs, which is what uninsured-motorist coverage exists for. Speed was a factor in 224 fatal or injury collisions in Oakland that year, and a speeding ticket goes on the same driving record your rate is built from.
